Ingredients For Pizza Bowl

extra virgin olive oil– Olive oil is used to saute the zucchini.
cauliflower rice, fresh or frozen– Cauliflower rice is used to make the crust of the pizza.
kosher salt– Kosher salt is a coarse salt commonly used in cooking and baking.
Lawry’s Garlic Salt– Lawry’s is a good brand for garlic salt. I use it daily in my cooking.
ground black pepper– Use freshly ground black pepper for best results.
Parmesan Cheese– Parmesan cheese is added to the cauliflower crust.
pizza sauce or marinara sauce of your choice– Use your favorite brand of pizza or marinara sauce.
quartered zucchini- Wash and gently dry fresh zucchini before quartering.
pepperoni slices, quartered– Use your favorite brand of pepperoni slices.
shredded mozzarella cheese– Mozzarella cheese is added to the top of the pizzas.
bacon crumbles– Bacon is a nice extra layer of flavor to the pizza.

How To Make Low Carb Pizza Bowl

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and lightly spray two 2 cup ramekins with cooking spray.
To prepare the Parmesan Cauliflower crust layer, add oil to large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add cauliflower rice, salt, garlic salt and pepper. Stir to cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until well combined then remove from heat.
Spoon half of cauliflower mixture into each ramekin, using a spoon, press rice down firmly into the bottom of the ramekin.
Spoon half of the pizza sauce/marinara sauce over the cauliflower layer.
For Zucchini, you can add them raw if you’d like, but I give them a quick sauté. Place oil into a large saucepan over medium heat. When hot add zucchini, salt and pepper, stirring for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add evenly to each ramekin.
Top with quartered pepperoni slices (much easier to eat from a bowl when they are quartered) then top evenly with shredded mozzarella and bacon crumbles.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until hot and melted. Serve warm, being careful not to touch ramekin while still hot from oven.

What Is A Low Carb Diet Anyway?

A low carb diet plan is a way of eating that is high in fat, moderate in protein and low in carbohydrates. It ends the rollercoaster of blood sugar spikes and crashes, allowing the body to burn fat.
There are different variations of low carb be sure to talk with your Doctor to assure you are getting the proper nutritional information for yourself.

How Does Low Carbohydrates Affect My Weight?

Low carbohydrate diets have been found to be successful in aiding weight loss. Always talk to your doctor before venturing a new diet lifestyle.
By restricting the amount of carbohydrates, people often lower their calorie intake at the same time as the focus on eating real foods and the satiating effect of fat means people are less likely to snack and overeat in general.

Continue layering your pizza bowl with the quartered pepperoni slices.

Top with shredded mozzarella and bacon crumbles.

Bake at 375 degrees F. for 12-15 minutes, or until hot and melted.

Serve warm, being careful of the hot ramekin.

Are There Other Baking Options If I Don’t Have A Ramekin?

Yes, you can bake the entire recipe in an 8 inch cake pan or 8 inch square pan. Just don’t cut into pieces, it’s meant to spoon into a bowl. You can also bake in a 8 inch skillet with an oven proof handle.
